This guide is aimed at anybody considering visiting Railay, or anybody looking for somewhere new to stay in Thailand. After spending just under two weeks here I really do recommend it as we had an amazing time.

Coming back through Bangkok, we’d managed to time it so that we had a morning there during Songkran Festival. The Thai new year festival is most famous for its water fights. Anyone out and about in Thailand during the 3 days of the festival will get drenched and covered in chalk.

With the sad state of affairs in the Ukraine right now, all I can think of is this amazing man we met in Thailand. He’d enjoyed his holiday so much he stopped the entire bar to present the DJ with a Ukrainian sailors cap, then set the dance floor ablaze. I hope you and your family are safe good sir! War is complete bullshit and I hope everything calms down before it gets to that point.
